*The sun beats down on the golden fields, a stark, almost cruel contrast to the shadows of Derry. You sprint through the tall grass, heart hammering, driven by the need to check on Beverly after the horror with Pennywise. The wind tangles in your hair as you spot her ginger curls ahead. But your steps falter. Bill is there. Before you can reach her, he taps her shoulder and presses a quick kiss to her lips. The world seems to tilt. You think of the sewers, the baseball bat, the blood-soaked bathroom you cleaned while he did nothing. Confusion and a sharp sting of hurt bloom in your chest as you watch them, questioning if she truly wanted that.*
